Amanda Elliott

Forestry Mulching

★★★★★

We hired Cut Brush for approximately three acres of forestry mulching and couldn't be happier. Communication was outstanding from the very beginning, the crew was professional and efficient, and we loved the regular updates and photos throughout the project. It's refreshing to work with a company that values communication and quality workmanship. Highly recommend!

Stan Creech

Land Clearing

★★★★★

Greg did a fantastic job with our land that was overgrown with vines, brush and trees. It took about 1 1/2 days of constant work with the machine to get this 0.6 acres under control. Greg was here at 8am sharp, just as promised. Very professional and reliable. 100% satisfied customer! I highly recommend Cut Brush for land clearing.

Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching Across Ranchettes, North Cheyenne and Southeast Wyoming

Ranchettes is the acreage country on the north side of Cheyenne: a census-designated place in Laramie County with no city government of its own, made up mostly of detached homes on open lots. Within 15 miles of it, close to 85 percent of the land is grassland and almost none is woodland, so nearly every tree on a lot here was planted. Our crew clears that ground from Ranchettes, Cheyenne, Fox Farm-College and South Greeley east to Burns and Pine Bluffs, north to LaGrange, WY, west to Laramie, WY, and south over the state line to Wellington, Nunn and Ault.

Much of the clearing on these lots covers less than an acre: a windbreak row gone ragged, a fence line full of brush, Russian olive in a draw, or the spot for a new house and shop. We handle them with forestry mulching, land clearing, windbreak and fence line clearing and lot and homesite prep.

Sound Familiar?

  • An old windbreak row that is half dead and full of gaps
  • Russian olive spreading down a draw or along a fence
  • A brush pile that has to wait while fire restrictions are on
  • No room yet for the house, shop and drive on a new acreage lot

Cut Brush Delivers

  • The dead trees mulched out and the healthy ones you flag left standing
  • The thicket ground down, with the sprouts that follow left to a licensed applicator
  • Everything ground on site, so nothing waits for a burn day
  • The building spot, drive and utility route cleared to the ground for your builder

Why Southeast Wyoming Landowners Choose Cut Brush

Conservation seedlings for new windbreaks are sold in Laramie County every year, and older rows thin out, die back and fill with volunteer growth. Russian olive was once planted for shelterbelts and erosion control; today it is a state designated noxious weed in Wyoming.

  • Small jobs are welcome. One row, one fence line or one house spot is worth a quote. Small jobs start at a minimum charge of about $1,500, not a fee added to an acre rate.
  • Nothing left to burn. The county fire warden allows burning on private land only when no fire restrictions are in place. A mulched row leaves no pile to burn or truck to the compost yard.
  • Rates published first. The Ranchettes pricing page sets out a per-acre band for each kind of work, and each quote lists the clearing and any return visit as separate lines.
  • What the price covers. Forestry mulching grinds brush, small trees and stumps into mulch on site, leaves stumps flush and hauls nothing away. Full stump removal below grade and cutting and hauling very large trees are discussed and priced in the quote; grading and build pads are not part of our price.

Weighing your options? The Ranchettes forestry mulching cost guide compares mulching a Russian olive row with cutting and treating it, the Wyoming Russian olive removal guide sets out the visits a stand needs, and the Wyoming land clearing cost guide covers burning, stormwater and prices statewide.

What to Know Before Clearing Land Around Ranchettes and North Cheyenne

County rules, not city rules. Ranchettes is unincorporated, so permits come from Laramie County Planning and Development at 3966 Archer Parkway in Cheyenne. Its grading, erosion and sediment control permit applies to land-disturbing activity of an acre or more, residential projects included, and a stormwater plan is needed from 1 acre. State construction stormwater coverage also applies from one acre: the Small Construction General Permit covers one to under five acres, while larger sites use the Large Construction General Permit. Confirm the applicable coverage and filing steps with DEQ. Ask the county before a house site is opened up; requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.

Burning waits for the right day. The Laramie County Fire Warden permits burning on private land only when no fire restrictions are in place. You comply with the state's open burning rules, call the Combined Communications Center at 307-637-6525 when you burn, and clear a 10-foot ring around the pile. Dirt mixed into a pile lets the fire hide and come back out days later on a windy day. As of May 2026, Cheyenne's compost facility at 3714 Windmill Road takes branches and logs under 6 feet long and 10 inches across.

Russian olive is a listed weed. It sits on Laramie County Weed and Pest's state designated list beside salt cedar, and one of the district's offices is at 801 Muddy Creek Drive in Pine Bluffs. Old windbreaks and draws need a plan for regrowth after the first cut. Waterfowl and other wildlife eat the berries. Our crew cuts and grinds it; treating the stumps is a licensed applicator's work.

Ranchettes and North Cheyenne Land Clearing FAQ

Ranchettes has no city government, so Laramie County's rules apply. The county's grading, erosion and sediment control permit covers land-disturbing activity of an acre or more, homes included, with a low-impact version for some smaller sites. Burning follows the county fire warden's guidance, and Russian olive is on the state designated noxious weed list. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
Most work runs $1,500 to $4,500 an acre, and windbreak rows and fence lines fall in a $1,500 to $2,500 band. Small jobs carry a minimum charge of about $1,500, which is where they start, not a fee added on top. Every band is on the Ranchettes pricing page, and the Ranchettes forestry mulching cost guide compares the two ways to take out a Russian olive row.
Yes. A row 600 feet long and 30 feet wide covers about 0.41 of an acre, so at the windbreak band it comes in under the minimum and is charged the minimum of about $1,500 in place of an acre rate, never with a fee on top.
The Laramie County Fire Warden allows burning on private land only when no fire restrictions are in place, and the state's open burning rules still apply. Mulching grinds the trees where they stand, so there is nothing left to burn or haul.
